Pot-pourri jars of this particular shape appear to be exceptionally rare. A pair of pear-shaped 'Pompadour' pot-pourri jars and covers, but with unusual pale celadon grounds, was sold at Sotheby's London, 8 November 1994, lot 274. Another example was sold at Christie's London, Knightsbridge, 12 May 2009, lot 188. (GBP 20.000) (link) (external link)
